My first day at the Academy of Arts was great. I say this because it was like an adventure to me. When I first got there, I felt like it was a new beginning, and time for me to explore the big city of San Francisco for the first time. I really loved it because not only did I get to learn new things, but I also got to learn about fashion design. Taking fashion classes there was fun and it got me really excited to learn new things even if it was just the basics. 

The students in my classroom made me feel welcomed and so did the teachers. The first day went a lot smoother than I thought it would. At the start of class everyone introduced themselves and we were all kind of shy but at the end most of us got close to each other. It was a good experience and I really enjoyed taking fashion classes there. 
My favorite thing to do at the program was my fashion styling class because I got to dress up a model and tell her what to wear. My partner and I got to choose an outfit that was pretty cool and that we both really loved. Out of the fashion classes I really liked this fashion styling one the most because I got to create different types of clothing with a scarf that I got to bring in, and we got to add more accessories to it. I also liked it because I got really close to a friend who made me feel really comfortable.
Another thing that I liked from the program was doing partner work and sharing it out to my other classmates who were also interested in my work. I liked sharing my work because it got me to really see what my classmates thought of my work, like a real critique. I got to hear opinions from my classmates and that helped me fix what I had to do to make them look better.
I would recommend this program because it was a nice experience taking classes in a big city and meeting new people. I would also recommend this program to others because they can enjoy it and meet new people not only from the bay but from everywhere. I would like them to know what I did because it can open up doors to new things in life. 

Thank you very much for contributing to my funding and helping me get closer to getting into my program. You’re giving me an opportunity to experience new forms of art at the Academy of Art Institution. I’m grateful to your help because now I’m closer to reaching my goal of attending the program of my choice.
